Texas voters are telling us the top issues they want to see the governor tackle including:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n English-speaking voters to see the following messages before choosing their next governor at the ballot box this November. For Spanish-speaking voters, please see below.<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Preserving women\u2019s freedom to make their own health care decisions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Beto O\u2019Rourke believes all Texans deserve the freedom to make their own decisions about their own body, their own health care, and their own future. O\u2019Rourke will fight back against Texas\u2019 extreme abortion ban that criminalizes abortion even in cases of rape or incest. O\u2019Rourke will stand with Texas women and will fight to get them back their reproductive freedom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Jobs & Healthcare for Hardworking Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Beto believes Texans are hard-working people who deserve financial stability. Beto supports expanding Medicaid to create nearly 300,000 jobs, reduce property taxes, bring $100 billion of federal Medicaid money back to Texas every year, and ensure all Texans can afford to see a doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Invest in Texas Schools<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Greg Abbott has defunded public schools, leaving teachers underpaid and students falling behind. Beto will fully fund our public schools, raise teacher pay to match other states, and stop the over-reliance on high-stakes standardized testing. To set Texas children up for success, we need a governor who will invest in our schools and public education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Keeping our schools and public places safe from gun violence<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n From Uvalde to San Antonio to El Paso, every day, we lose more Texans to gun violence, and it\u2019s time to act. Beto O\u2019Rourke knows that we can protect the Second Amendment and protect our fellow Texans by making a few basic changes \u2013 raising the age for firearm purchases in Texas to 21, closing background check loopholes, and investing in more accessible mental health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every major issue that’s on the table impacts Latinos the most. Here\u2019s what we need our Spanish-speaking neighbors in Texas to see and hear before the end of the election.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Quality Education in Texas<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Beto luchar\u00e1 para que cada ni\u00f1o reciba una educaci\u00f3n de calidad. Es un derecho humano. Tenemos que comprometernos a financiar por completo nuestras escuelas p\u00fablicas y pagarle a nuestras maestras lo que valen, para que nuestras maestras, estudiantes y padres en nuestro estado tengan las mejores escuelas y en torno, los mejores trabajos en los Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every child deserves a quality education. It’s a human right. We must commit to fully fund our public schools and pay our teachers what they are worth, so that our teachers, students and parents in our state have the best schools and in turn, the best jobs in America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Freedom to make her own decisions about her own body<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Beto merece tu voto porque \u00e9l sabe que todas las mujeres merecen la libertad de tomar sus propias decisiones sobre sus cuerpos. En el estado de Texas necesitamos revocar la ley contra el derecho de decidir y aumentar la cobertura de Medicaid para que las mujeres embarazadas reciban atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Every woman deserves the freedom to make her own decisions about her body. In Texas, we need to repeal the anti-choice law and increase Medicaid coverage for pregnant women to receive health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prevent more tragedies like Uvalde<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Apoya a Beto en noviembre porque \u00e9l sabe que para prevenir m\u00e1s tragedias como la masacre de ni\u00f1os en Uvalde, necesitamos revocar la ley de portaci\u00f3n de armas sin permiso y empujar soluciones de sentido com\u00fan que proteger\u00e1n la Segunda Enmienda y a la vez a nuestros hijos y familiares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To prevent more tragedies like the massacre of children in Uvalde, we need to repeal the concealed carry law and push for common sense solutions that will protect the Second Amendment and our children and families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" September 26, 2022 Texas voters are telling us the top issues they want to see the governor tackle including: Keeping our schools and communities safe from gun violence Reducing inflation and curbing the rise in …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1007,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
